Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/11/2014 11:22 pm I have been offered this coin. I believe it to be a Thrace from around 400BC, Can anyone confirm this and maybe suggest what would be too much to pay? (Seller's photos I am afraid.) Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/12/2014 6:44 pm Thanks people. I bought the two coins and (subject to grading) it looks like I didn't pay too much for the pair. (Always good to know.) Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 12:50 am 1.5gr is rather light for this type. They are usually over 2 grams. I can't say I like the details that much--most I've seen have a more complete lion. So it's hard to evaluate the coin based on these details--I would hold out for a better example.
